Python 2.6: URLs should be stripped of #egg= fragments #69
Comments
Original comment by jaraco (Bitbucket: jaraco, GitHub: jaraco): This issue stems from this changeset (4e4ccf3ea04d), which was ancestral to 0.9, so 0.7 and 0.8 should not be affected by this issue. I remember testing this behavior when I made the change (to ensure that the fragment in the request was suitably ignored), but I did not test on older Python versions. Thanks for the report; I'll get it fixed straight away. |
